Cost and environmental fee<\/strong><\/p>\n

The entry fee for the London Marathon is \u00a3330 plus an additional charge of \u00a326, known as the carbon levy. This fee highlights the organizers\u2019 commitment to environmental sustainability and promoting eco-friendly practices for large running events. It is required when confirming the reservation of a spot by the selected participants.<\/p>\n

Who can participate and who is excluded?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The draw is intended for those who have not previously participated in the London Marathon through the AbbottWMM Draw channel. If a marathoner has already used this mechanism and completed the marathon via this route, they cannot apply again. The system also excludes individuals who do not meet the minimum star requirement, thereby ensuring fair chances for other Majors runners.<\/p>\n

Why choose this entry route?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The AbbottWMM lottery system is transparent \u2013 the number of available places is limited, competition is only among runners with the required stars, and the application process is simple and intuitive. Restrictions related to previous participation in the marathon clearly define the rules and encourage runners to earn more stars in other Majors cities. For many runners, it is a chance to take the next step toward completing the full World Marathon Majors series.<\/p>\n
